Mallika Sherawat has more scripts on hand than she can handle.Just when we were wondering where the Quotable Queen had disappeared, and the gossip was that Mallika Sherawat hardly had many films in her kitty, comes interesting news. The buzz is that she has no less than 62 scripts on hand but is deliberately going slow. Reveals a source, "Mallika doesn't want to take up any and all films that are offered to her.
She's busy with Unveiled which will begin soon and she's doing
Fauj Mein Mauj. Then there's Welcome with Anil Kapoor which is complete. Besides these, she hasn't signed on the dotted line for any filmmaker ." Apparently, Mallika has burnt her fingers earlier by selecting bad scripts such as
Kis Kis Ki Kismet and
Bachke Rehna Re Baba, and she's become quite wary about committing the same mistakes again. After being part of such a good script as
Pyaar Ke Side Effects, Mallika has tasted blood and she refuses to meet anybody who doesn't have a sound script. "Today, with more and more filmmakers coming up with innovative ideas, opportunities are looking everyone is the face. Especially for someone like Mallika whom everyone wants to work with," reveals the source. Also, with the actress making enough money through her item numbers (remember
Aap Ka Surroor and
Guru?) , the
moolah is not exactly a criteria for her selecting films right now, it seems.
